Mich hat die Liebe gekannt [English translation]

I carry on through the night in a vision

You see me just as I was turning around

And the whole world around me

Was it worth my while?

I know that life has been good to me

I've cried, I've laughed

I've thought now and then

A step forward, a step back

And plenty of luck for me in between

My greatest wish is to fly

I fall on the moon

I fall in the night

And I fall on the earth1

If times are hard

So long as I find myself again

I'll remember that

Love knew me.

By no means am I perfect

And I have no intentions in becoming so

I've gone thru so many lifestyles2

I lose a little of myself everyday.3

And if my world has gone mad4

I'll save that moment5

Like taking a picture just for luck6

I fall on the moon

I fall in the night

And I fall on the earth

If times are hard

So long as I find myself again

I'll remember that

Love knew me.

Every time

When I'm not standing on my own two feet

I fall down

And am less likely to remember7 again

I fall on the moon

I remember that!

I fall in the night

Love knew me

And I fall on the earth

I remember that!

I fall on the moon

Love knew me

I fell in the night8

I fell on the world

I fell on the moon

I fell in the night

I fell on the world

I fall

I fall

I fall

I fall

I fall

I fall

I fall.
